wow...that's tough. Welcome to Canada's world and our dilemma of getting players to commit to this...

Want to know the worst part? Finland's best KHL centers aren't coming either, aside from one who's playing with a minor injury. Basically they're all either injured or simply not willing to come. We've also had several good goalies playing in Europe decline the invitation. If Rinne says no, we're going to be left with only SM-liiga goalies. I don't know if it's ever been this bad before.

Yes, but Hadamczik want them really bad so our union came up with some kind of insurance which could convince them but I guess it's still not very likely..

Right now, confirmed are Fleischmann, Kuba, Voráček, Hejda and it looks like Tlustý too.
Who are considered and is there a real chance but haven't expressed their statement yet: Hudler, Červenka, Šmíd, Z.Michálek, Hanzal, Vrbata, Pavelec

This is great news! He looks really good in AHL and has potential to make it to the NHL in years to come. I hope he makes the team, would be great to see him there.

He is supposed to play in the last couple of exhibition games before the WC.
They will play Switzerland tomorrow and again on Saturday. The game tomorrow will be broadcasted in Germany so I will hopefully get a chance to see him for the first time since the World Juniors a few years ago.
